About Jillian
Jillian Meher is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience offering practical help for common and complex concerns. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, eating and body image struggles, and stress from life changes. Jillian aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where a person can talk through what matters most to them.
Her approach is integrative and tailored. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's lead and CBT to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Jillian also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and lists EMDR among the approaches she uses when appropriate.
In sessions she focuses on developing clear tools and small experiments people can try between meetings. That might mean problem-solving around daily routines, learning new coping skills, or practicing different ways to talk about needs and boundaries. She pays attention to both current problems and past patterns that keep repeating.
Jillian often helps people who struggle with relationships, family-of-origin issues, caregiver stress, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people coping with natural or human-caused disaster impacts, trauma and abuse, and major life transitions.
People who want a collaborative therapist who listens and adapts the plan are likely to find her style helpful. She works in New Jersey and conducts sessions in English. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule a time that fits you.
How Jillian’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and shaping sessions around the client's priorities to help people feel heard and understood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses simple exercises and experiments to change patterns that increase anxiety, depression, or unhelpful eating behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for regulating strong emotions and improving communication. These skills can help with anger, relationship conflicts, and stress that feels overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as needs change.
